Below are some of the meals I plan on trying this week (They can be found on this blog: Undressed Skeleton which has some good lower calorie recipes)

Banana Breakfast Bread

Strawberry Banana Bagel

Tropical Jungle Salad- for part of lunch

Weekend Deli Delight

My workout was also very successful. Here is what I did for my first day:

– 5 minute warm up on an eliptical

– 20 squats with a 22.5 weight

– 40 lunges with an 18 lb bar (20 each leg)

– 20 deadlifts with a 22.5 lb weight

– 40 crunches

– 40 butt-lifts (not really sure of the real name)

-20 minutes of cardio on the treadmill

The entire workout was around 45 minutes and stretching before and after was about 15 minutes total. I felt pretty good after! Looking forward to my hour long kick-boxing class tomorrow and some good meals (and the first day back at work from a long break)!
